Asthma

Asthma medications are used to manage and control asthma symptoms, reducing inflammation and constriction of the airways. Common types include:

Inhaled Corticosteroids : Such as fluticasone and budesonide, which reduce airway inflammation.
Long-Acting Beta Agonists (LABAs) : Like salmeterol, which relax airway muscles to keep airways open.
Short-Acting Beta Agonists (SABAs) : Such as albuterol, used for quick relief of acute symptoms.
Leukotriene Modifiers : Including montelukast, which block chemicals that cause airway inflammation.
Combination Inhalers : Medications that combine corticosteroids and LABAs, such as fluticasone/salmeterol.
The choice of asthma medication depends on the severity and frequency of symptoms, as well as individual health factors, requiring guidance from a healthcare provider for effective and safe treatment.
